Kennedy the Sub confirmed
I think I may have misread the ins and outs when I posted this. I don't think he is confirmed yet which means Fisher may get the gig in front of him. I would be extremely disappointed if this was the case. Fisher needs to go back to the 2s and dominate before he gets back into the 1s.

Honey spends a lot of time on the bench, like McGovern, and could perhaps have a greater impact if he was on the ground for longer periods rather than stopping and starting.

Apart from being proficient on both feet, Honey seems to be better able do something positive when he has the pill than does Fish.

If we beat this mob I think we'll get a lot of cred back and be real contenders.
At the moment the footy community don't think we are a threat. (Which is warranted)
Would be nice be a force again but not sure how the team would go becoming the hunted instead of being the hunter.
2024... Moir of the same to come

I think in the first half of last year, we built consistency around the way we played, the gap between our best and worst was  small. Even in the second half, we lost games but werent terrible, just not good enough.
This year that consistency gap and widened a touch, we need to close it, in a hurry.
Forget the score line and the quality of opposition but last weeks game, the way we played, was the bench mark in many ways. We must bring that level, or as close as f#$% is to swearing to it, every week and the score line will take care of itself.

Getting the grass to grow is the hard part, killing it they've got down pat.

I’d say it’s a 50/50 game but the bookies’ markets would have been influenced by the lopsided small bet activity of Carlton fans.

Can be 49/51 or 1/99, as long as it goes our way that's all I want.

The odds were the other way round on Sunday so I guess you're right.

It will be a fierce contest I'm sure. What none of us want to see is another failure like the Adelaide game where it was over at 1/4 time. That will be a disaster.

We've finally gathered a good team across all lines. Our test will be readjusting rapidly to the gulf between WC and Lions. We'll need to be strong in the contest, well versed in our oppo responsive system, and a hunger to win.

Playing at home, and their outs will help. Hopefully our 2 special milestones will also provide some impetus.

Hope I'm wrong, but my tip is Lions by 16.
